Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates. This
means the system is operational.
See “Malfunction Indicator light” later in this section
for details of the orange Malfunction Indicator light.
If the red malfunction warning light comes on steady
while the engine is running, it may indicate an en-
gine control system malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by a NISSAN dealer or
qualified workshop. You do not need to have your
vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without having the
engine control system checked and repaired as
necessary could lead to poor driveability,
reduced fuel economy and possible damage to
the engine control system, which may affect your
warranty coverage.
Incorrect setting of the engine control system may
lead to non-compliance of local and national emis-
sion laws and regulations.
Master warning light
The master warning light is displayed when any
warning message is displayed. See “Vehicle infor-
mation display” later in this section.

the LOCK, “OFF” or Acc position. This function
indicates that your vehicle is equipped with the
NISSAN Anti-Theft System (NATS)*.
If NATS is malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
For additional information, see “Security system”
later in this section.

restraint system” section.
4WD warning light (4WD
models)
The 4WD warning light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. It turns off soon
after the engine is started.
If the 4WD system malfunctions or the revolution or
radius of the front and the rear wheels differs, the
warning light will either remain illuminated or blink.
See “Four-wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” in the
“5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION
If the warning light comes on or blinks while
driving, 4WD mode will change to 2WD mode.

The lines which are displayed on the monitor, indi-
cate the vehicle’s clearance and distance between
the obstacle and the bumper

REAR-VIEW MONITOR SETTING
For details, see the separately provided NISSAN
Connect Owner’s Manual.
OPERATING TIPS
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is shifted to R (Reverse), the NISSAN Con-
nect display automatically changes to the rear-
view monitor mode.
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is returned to a position other than R (Re- verse), it may take some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen may be dis-
torted until they are completely displayed.
When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly enters the camera
lens, objects may not be displayed clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light from
the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
The colours of objects on the rear-view monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the transparent
camera cover, the rear-view monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the transparent
camera cover.
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the transparent camera cover. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the transparent camera
cover, wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted
mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
Do not damage the transparent camera cover as
the NISSAN Connect display may be adversely
affected.
Do not use body wax on the transparent camera
cover. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

The positionjC is shown further than the positionjB in the display. However, the positionjC is actu-
ally at the same distance as the positionjA . The
vehicle may hit the object when moving toward the
position
jA if the object projects over the actual
moving course.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
VIEW
To adjust the display brightness of the Around View
Monitor, use the settings described in the sepa-
rately provided NISSAN Connect owner’s manual.
Do not adjust the settings while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Make sure the handbrake is firmly applied.
OPERATING TIPS
The screen displayed on the Around View Moni-
tor will automatically return to the previous screen
3 minutes after the button has been
pushed while the gear selector lever is in a posi-
tion other than the R (Reverse) position.
The display of images on the screen may be
delayed after screens are switched. Objects in
the Around View Monitor may be distorted mo-
mentarily until the Around View Monitor screen
is displayed completely.
When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly shines on the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly. This is not
a malfunction.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen due to light reflections. This is not a mal-
function.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
The colours of objects on the Around View Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
Objects on the monitor may not be clear and the
colour of the object may differ in a dark location
or at night. This is not a malfunction.
There may be differences in clearness between
each camera view of the bird’s-eye view.
If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera, the
Around View Monitor may not display objects
clearly. Clean the camera.
CAUTION
Do not scratch lenses when cleaning the cam-
era.
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the camera. This will cause discolouration. To
clean the camera, wipe with a cloth that has
been dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not damage the camera because the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been damp-
ened with a mild detergent diluted with water.
